Hi Everyone , It was a big maintenance week last week repairing rudders , centreboards , masts and sails so that we could have enough boats for the weekend because of the increase in Sunday numbers so we just needed more boats to accommodate all our new budding sailors . 

8.30am Sunday Juniors

With the winds again getting above our safe operating levels for these learner sailors it was decided again to rig Lasers and a few Teras so that the juniors who were capable could sail in the windy conditions and the new sailors could sail with our Youth race crew in Casey , Sienna , Jess , Charlie and Pat . The winds were from the south again and gusting around 15 knots so it was a bit lumpy out there but everyone actually sailed well we even got Maria steering kind of ! As usual there were a few capsizes and a broken mast to put a bit of excitement in the session.

10.30am Sunday Juniors

By now the winds were up around 16 to 18 knots so after some coaching on the beach I decided to send those who wanted to out as two ups as they just needed the weight in the boats . The biggest surprise was Cody and Dan out in a club Laser who were actually flying and grinning from ear to ear , after the session all they wanted to do was go racing ! Ollie took Dad for a sail which as you could guess ended in capsize which resulted in much laughter on shore especially when the did it again .

Youth Racing

With our Bic fleet in the rebuild stage after Pat and Dallas moved to Lasers, we set an Adult course and a Youth course using the same start line but not sending the Youth sailors so far south as the Adults as conditions were up around 20 plus. It was a wild and woolly start for everyone and despite their best efforts all the Bic sailors pulled out as conditions reached past 25knots and the wave height was up around a metre making it just to hard to keep the boats upright . Even the Lasers were in trouble with Jess and Sienna pulling out early then Pat as conditions got worse but as usual Casey kept going and completed the course with a big grin as she went over the finish line .

Adult Racing

As I described in the Youth section, conditions were slowly getting worse especially at the top marks which were down near Runners with wind speeds down there reaching over thirty knots which made for some great upwind and down wind sailing. Both the guys and girls (Michelle) were all sailing to their maximums, and I think both the recent training and Masters helped with their overall performances. It was truly awesome to watch with Greg the best on the day slowly but surely getting away and getting over the line first. Both rescue crews also had a big day and we all ended up completely drenched especially Aidan and Dallas ( FINGER INJURY ) as they were unlucky enough to be on the Jet ski .
